The city of Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh is on track to house the world’s largest cricket stadium, surpassing the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) unveiled plans for this monumental project, which will feature a seating capacity of 1.25 lakh spectators, setting a new benchmark for cricket infrastructure in India and across the world.

What are the key details of this ambitious project?

ACA president and Vijayawada MP Kesineni Sivanath (Chinni) revealed that the association has requested 60 acres of land from the Andhra Pradesh government to bring the stadium to life.

As part of a larger sports city spanning 200 acres, this facility will be central to the transformation of Amaravati into a global hub for sports.

Chinni expressed confidence that the stadium would not only redefine cricket infrastructure in the country but also elevate Amaravati’s stature on the international stage.

How will the project be funded?

To ensure the timely completion of this colossal project, the ACA plans to seek financial backing from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and supplement it with local funding sources.

The ACA has also announced its intention to bid for the 2029 National Games, which, if successful, would further establish Andhra Pradesh as a key player in Indian sports development.
